implement cursorline and cursorcolumn

[257]

cursorline is great in vim but here we would also need columns to be highlighted...
update: vim has cursorcolumn! so implement equivalent of that.

I am not sure if I get this feature request. You can change colors and other format attributes such as bold, dim, reverse, standout, blink.. of COLUMN and ROW headings that covers the selected cell, redefining CELL_SELECTION_SC. See :color command.

try cursorline in vim. it gives an indicator of where the cursor is. i will post an image shortly.

Here you dont have a cursor, unless you edit a cell content (inputline).
The color of row an column headings change when they cover the selected cell.

what i'm asking is more like a ruler on a technical drawing board.

Hello @257. Did you try setting color type GRID_ODD and GRID_PAIR? Please see doc

[andmarti1424]

Actually I try this today, but I dont see it shows confortly. Its a little messy..

And here it should handle (didnt do that) what you already define for default_background.. can be a little tricky

[andmarti1424]

Two different things, but I believe GRID_ODD and GRID_PAIR is way better..

@257 I close this since I dont think this will be added. Please feel free to open a conversation so others can discuss if this feature is useful / worth it. Thanks.

In my particular context I'd only want to highlight the row, not the column, so that would do away with the messiness. Also, I'd highlight with a much less stand-out color, like dark-grey against a black background with only the cell the cursor is on standing out a lot (maybe yellow on black).

@andmarti1424 any patches i can try?
